This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carmex®. All opinions are 100% mine. Have you heard about the new Carmex® Healing hand cream and hand lotion? Carmex® is a fantastic brand and I have used their products for many years. As a result, the opportunity to review their newest line of healing hand lotion and cream. Honestly speaking, that excitement stems from not only the reliability of Carmex® but also the onset of my “old and dry” skin. Formulated using a patent pending process, Carmex® Healing Cream and Lotion bring healing and moisture to the skin without a greasy film. Daily use is recommended with the lotion to help protect skin and keep dryness from developing. The healing ingredients of aloe and vitamin E nourish and moisturize skin. Fast absorption provided for a non-greasy feel. For those extra dry areas of the elbows, feet, hands, and knees, Carmex® recommends using their new moisturizing cream. Containing nine healing ingredients, this concentrated cream is formulated to help heal dry, cracked skin. The concentrated cream reminds me of the healing Carmex® lip balm has delivered for the last seventy years. Oh, wow Carmex®is older than I am, yippee! Both moisturizers have a light, pleasant scent as the yellow sunflower package design suggest. Have I sparked your interest? Carmex® Healing Lotion and Carmex® Healing Cream. They have a contest,...

If you are looking to lose weight as so many of us are then have you considered drinking green tea as a dietary supplement? You can easily swap green tea for your usual cups of coffee or tea that you consume during the day, green tea has many advantages and health benefits to offer you. The Main Health Benefits Of Green Tea Green tea is high in antioxidants and also contains some caffeine. The antioxidants are particularly of interest to those dieters taking a lot of exercise. You may have heard the term ‘free radicals’ and wondered what it refers to. Well free radicals are produced as a by product of ordinary metabolism. Free radical production increases in frequency the more exercise you do. The problem is that free radicals are very damaging to the cell structure of your body and can affect the health of all parts. Antioxidents help to protect your body from free radical damage by deactivating them and making them harmless. But that is not all that antioxidents do, studies have also shown they have a role to play in protecting you from heart disease, cancer and strokes. It has been reported that green tea inhibits the unnatural formation of blood clots, some of which have been known to cause thombrosis, which is one of the leading causes of heart attacks and strokes.

How do you define your Wellness? How does it show up in your life currently? About 15 years ago, I ask myself these questions many times. When I was in my early thirties, I watched my body, my health, my emotions and my sense of “self” slip away. I did not know what it felt like to wake up with a purpose and the will to move forward. I wanted to get a handle on my life and find a better way of living, one that would enhance the quality of my life as I aged. After researching, soul searching, educating and defining what was important to me, I’ve come to believe that incorporating wellness habits into your life on a daily basis is the key. I recognize that wellness is unique to each person; it encompasses every aspect of your life and requires work, determination and commitment to bring about change. The change needed to bring balance and harmony to your life. This means wellness is a choice. What an enlightening discovery, I thought. Once I realized that it was a choice, I found a way to tap into my “self “strength and saw a time of change as an opportunity to be a better me. Wellness is a choice. It requires that you do something everyday to honor your body, mind and spirit. Achieving wellness means taking...
